Well as some of you know I sold the Talon a few weeks ago because I needed a DD. I was looking to get out of the DSM game, so I went after a friends srt4 well that didn't workout out. So I got a hold of Andy about my old 90 gst, well he needed the money to fix the GSX so he said he would take $950 and I was like hell yeah I want to get it this weekend well I couldn't because I had to go to a cookout so I told him it will have to wait... So I was riding with Justin the night before the cookout and he told me about this 2g gst he was looking at but I didn't think much about it... Well the next day we were talking about a friends Talon and he said he wanted that so I asked about the GST and he said I could get it if I want. So I was like hell yeah and had him drive me by there but I couldn't get a good look so I went back later that day with David. I walked about 100-150 yards to get a look at her but still didn't get a good look because she was behind a fence... Well me and Justin went back a few days later... And I talked to the guy about it and he said he wanted $800 for it... Well we went back to look at it and she wasn't that bad but I asked if I could get her for $500 and he said yeah... So I am going back Friday or Saturday to pick her up!



It's a 1995 Mitsubishi Eclipse GST........Auto... But hey $500!! She runs but the seals on the turbo are bad... So she will need a new t25...(Just so I can get her on the road)

All stock with a fart can... There is only rust on one strut tower...


Her she is...

Some asshole tried stealing the side skirts but they just clip right back on so no big deal...




She needs one TLC but like I said $500!!


But she has an ugly blue interior w/ blue leather seats... Witch is going to be pulled!

hell of a deal

Instead of buying a new turbo, I would try rebuilding it. Rebuild kit are under $100 and it's a pretty easy job.

Mitsu90 has me covered on the turbo...

Well I picked up the GST Saturday :dancenana:


Here are some pics...

On the way home... Thanks for the help David...




At home and really dirty!




How the **** can you let a car get this dirty!?!?









All of those pics are from Saturday and Sunday... I do not have any pics of my progress because my cam is broke... But I have replaced the turbo pulled all of the interior and painted the dash black. Cleaned the engine bay and buffed the car... I am getting ready to change the oil and take her around the block...

I have a triple pod on the way w/ boost/oil press/trans timp. I already have a MBC...

The blown t-25




After a quick bath...

very nice find! A good project, but also a lot of work. Remember that most 95s have an eprom ECU. As soon as you can, pop that thing open to make sure the caps are good.

went over today and helped him finish gettin it runnin. Pretty nice car and definetly a good buy for $500. After a jump, the car started right up and ran fine. needs a few vacuum leaks fixed but other then that it sounded like it could be a strong running little car.

Nice find.

p.s. I still want that valve cover!!!!!!!!

Yep thanks for the help. And like I said trade me your rims lol

Well here is what has been done so far...
Replaced most of the vac and emissions lines,
Oil change,
new plugs,
put my valve cover on,
pulled all of the int out and re-did it,
buffed the car.,
put two decals on her (shocker, got boost?)

tomorrow I am going to replace the rest of the lines and maybe take her for a quick spin around the block...

that sucks that you couldn get the srt but you did get a steal

yeah I know! I wanted that damn car so bad! but o well the GST will do...



I am getting a camera in about an hour so I will have lots of pics!

Well I got David's camera so here are some pics!



Also I got my gauges and door handle today... Anyone know how to hook up a trans temp, oil press and boost gauge? I am sure I can do the boost gauge it doesn't look to hard but the other two idk...

Hell of a difference in very little time. Very impressive Dakota!

Thanks...


And I think I still have a vac leak somewhere... I replaced just about every line as it is... Also I am going to need some help hooking up the gauges... Anyone willing?

That car cleaned up really nice! I'm sure it was some work but for that price, I'd say you got a steal.

now all you need is some replacements for the donut tires....

possibly................

I have the stock wheels off of a 95 esi in the back yard... I just can't get the damn rims off they are locks on the lug nuts...

Well I am going out to swap the door handle for the new one... Should be fun lol.

$500? Man, you really did get a deal. Assuming you have a '95 Eprom in there, the ECU alone is worth $150!

From what I know I do... The codes are the same as the ones on DSMlink.com...

few more pics...

nice group pics.... why wasnt i invited?????

Lol it wasn't planed... they both just randomly showed up and we took some pics...

I think some time in the next few months I am going to organize a big DSM photo shoot...



Also when can I get the wires and compression test?

Well last night I pulled the bcs restrictor and cut the bov return tube... I have yet to take it for a ride...

Before



After

Quick question... When is my fan supposed to come on? I don't think it has came on the whole time I have had the car and my temp gauge doesn't work so I can't tell if she is running hot or not...

Mine comes on when the gauge is just before middle but I'm sure that doesn't help.

Uhm. If I let it sit and idle for about 20 minutes, it'll be at operating temp. Few revs to 4k and it'll kick on.

Well then I am guessing mine is broken... I am going to swap it out for the newish one I have that came off of the Talon...

Well I put both fans on there and I am going to see if they work tomorrow...

Good luck mate!

Could be the temperature switch and/or wiring to the switch. On a 1G the switch is located at the bottom of the radiator on the passenger side.

Well I got her fixed and she it running perfect! She's idling at 700-800. It drives perfect no more smoking. My newish fans are working. My stock temp gauge is now working and and I have ice cold ac!!! lol

did you ever get your gauges hooked up? i just ordered a bunch of stuff to run gauges in my car. not sure about the trans temp but the oil temp sensor should work in your car. as far as the oil pressure gauge on the evo there is an extra plug on the pump where you can screw in a 2nd oil pressure sending unit. 42 draft designs has all the stuff to hook it up to an EVO... not sure if you can do the same with the DSM.

this oil temp sending unit screws into the drain plug on the oil pan.

not sure about the trans temp because that is a different size but you may be able to find something similar.

The boost gauge is hooked up. The oil and trans temp are not... I am going to hook up the oil press next time I change the oil and I have to tap into the tranny pan for the trans temp gauge...

Well I bought my baby back...

She has...
New alternator
New battery
New power steering belt
New plugs
New plug wires
Oil changed about 250miles ago...

And once I am able to use someones paypal she will be getting some mods...
3" o2 housing w/dump
3" down pipe
3" test pipe
3" catback
FMIC
RS BOV
Intake


And I am picking up some 17's tomorrow...

All of my mods are ordered!!

so I hear your $500 junk yard dsm gave an LS1 a run for it's money

Yes she did

I am also getting a Greddy turbo timer and battery relocate kit Friday...


I love having a job I get new mods every week

sounds like she is coming along bud, keep up the good work

Kinda nice not having an expense list that is close to the paycheck!

Yep I am not old enough to live on my own so the only things I have to spend money on are my car and my girl and I like it lol

I am also getting a set of 2g cloth seats and door insert and a cargo cover on Friday

Good deal! I don't have a girl to spend money on so I have all the more to put into the Talon.


Jon is supposedly going to personally drop off the transmission for my car sometime this week. I'm pumped.


How old are you anyways?

Only 17...

Ohh well hell, you're only a year and some months ahead of me.

Yeah lol

Actually, I think I saw you the other day. Rollin next to a black Mustang up by Russell's/Hardee's/KFC...

... I haven't had the car out since Friday...

Well I got some of my parts...

Om nom nom nom PARTS.


I can't wait for my turn
